I got Okami HD and Crash Bandicoot 4 for real cheap
I know it’s Ubisoft, but friends I played Division 1 and 2 with recommended Ghost Recon Wildlands. On sale for $4.99usd. Picked it up and really enjoying the open environment and gameplay.
The Saboteur, it’s £4.49. Classic game
Does that still require a third party launcher, or can you just run it straight from Steam now?
Just runs straight from Steam for me. Works very well. You’ll need to adjust the config file to get fullscreen though!
Outer Wilds. Every time it’s on sale I buy a copy as a gift for a friend of mine.
It’s an absolutely impactful experience. One best played blind since the unlocks/progression is knowledge based.
A masterpiece of mystery, story telling and exploration gameplay.
Can I be a friend of yours lol
I hope it goes on sale for <$10 at some point, it looks really fun
It is fantastic. Just wonderful experience that you can only truly ever have once.
I somewhat joke with my spouse that if I ever have temporary ambesia to have me play it so I can experience afresh again
Are you blind?
Bought it after a reccomendation. Thanks for no spoilers, I’m really enjoying it (and intrigued) so far
Their advice on pulling another thread is the way to go. Don’t even do something you think is related, just go do something new. You might find it’s related after all.
It’s great. And if you ever get stuck just pull on another thread since many of them overlap.
Feel free to ping me and I’ll do my best to give non spoiler hints if you ever feel truly stuck.
How many copies does your friend have by now?
I’ve bought it about 5 or 6 times now
Hollow Knight (it’s currently 50% off).
Stick Fight: The Game is super cheap, and a nice warming up game.
What in the seven hells is a “warming up” game?
Yeah, I probably should have clarified that a bit more.
Stick Fight is an online multiplayer brawler. Think Smash Bros, but with super short rounds. Rounds lasting longer than 15 seconds are the exception.
So it’s a nice game to play while waiting for your other online gaming buddies arrive.
Nothing has really caught my eye so far. I have a handful of wishlisted games, some of which are on sale, but I just don’t feel compelled to get them. I’m actually considering trying to dig up my old SSI gold-box titles and see if I can get DOSBox or a VM working instead (though housework and farming generally eat up my non-main-job time at the moment).
I bought Dreamfall Chapters. It’s the only one of its series that doesn’t feel too dated to be playable to me.
TLJ is in my top 3 stories in all of gaming but the puzzles/gameplay are pretty terrible. I’d still highly recommend grabbing it for a few bucks on GOG and playing it with a walkthrough - the story is absolutely worth it.
I liked dreamfall as well but the story wasn’t as impactful to me. I actually backed chapters on kickstarter but never finished it. How are you enjoying it so far?
I just picked up and started playing Brütal Legend. It’s pretty fun. If you are a fan of Tenacious D or anything else Jack Black has done you will probably enjoy it. It’s basically an Isekai story where you play as JB in a fantasy world inspired by metal album covers.
Divinity 2: Original Sin
I got Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s 67% off.
We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie. I’m a huge Katamari fan and this port is just fantastic. Great for just relaxing and the soundtrack is fire.
Vermintide 2. When life gets hard, you can count on the Ubersreik 5 to be harder
I tried to get into it but I hated the loot boxes and progression. It felt unnecessary and complicated compared to the first. Plus it runs like crap on my PC compared to the first.
And it’s very problematic on linux and steamdeck.

Well, the game I’m playing now is to see how many games I can add to my library that I intend to play later.
I’ve actually been playing this for years.
But seriously, I’ve finally got to playing Trombone Champ, fun little rhythm game. Bought the newish RoboCop, which I heard was good, but haven’t started that yet.
I also bought Trombone Champ on the sale! Have not started yet, as I am devoting my attention to a few other games right now and I prefer not to split my game brain toooo many different ways, but excited to as a former band kid who has never played a trombone in real life.
Now that I think of it I feel it was probably the perfect instrument to make this game for. It has Actual Music written for it, as a legit instrument some people devote themselves to and get good at, so there’s definitely enough depth to make a game out of it, but it is also one of the instruments more likely to be funny.
